    Time to trim the herd

    I was looking for my Lyman 125gr 4 cavity mold to do some casting. Despite my best attempt to organize the monster, I found several duplicate molds that I don't remember buying. A few are old 2 cavity Lyman molds that I started with, until I moved up to 4,6, and 8 cavity molds.
    What to do with these orphans? I had a couple convert by Eric to HP.

    Donating them to new casters is always a good idea

    it looks like i'll have to step up and look at all these old 2 cavity molds then.
    I'm neither young nor old..
    I could probably ship the right ones off to the young guy's and the right ones off to the old guy's after a bit of testing of course.

    I've passed most of my two cavity molds on to a young man I have been mentoring. Also a couple four cavity NEI molds I haven't used in a couple decades. Also a 10 pound Lee pot and a Star sizer with a CH heater base. When he gets the hardwood flooring done in my man cave, he'll get an RCBS Promelt.
    How's that hope and change working for you?
